FY2016 NDAA - Nuclear Life Extension Program Report

4/29/15 This Garamendi amendment requires the DOD, STRATCOM, the Nuclear Weapons Council, and NNSA to submit a report on all current and planned nuclear life extension, modernization, development, and procurement programs, with special attention to the costs of such programs beyond ten years. Given geopolitical considerations and the growing costs of nuclear waste cleanup, Garamendi thinks we need to more carefully consider the wisdom of preserving and expanding our nuclear arsenal.
